Post91- - - - -Tuesday, 12 December 2006.

Hi Everyone ~~ I guess you have all had a busy day,as they all seem to be busy this close to Christmas.I have my cards all done, but now have lots of presents to wrap in the next few days.My son Geoff and his family are coming up from Melbourne for a visit, which will be great as I haven’t seen them for awhile.

My daughter Kathy is coming to collect me, on Tuesday and we will leave on Wednesday 20th December.I will be off the air for a few days from then.Meanwhile I am still here for awhile. Today was food shopping day, so all stocked up again.I will cook some nice dinners for the folks.

The following item was sent to me byGwenfrom Gwens Denand is very nice.Thank you Gwen.

GOOD MORNING

While you have your first cup of coffee,

set back and listen to some music and read about HELLO.

Have you ever thought what this word stands for? Read on....

Do you know that a simple "hello" can be a sweet one?

The wordH E L L O means:

H=How are you?

E= Everything all right?

L= Like to hear from you

L= Love to see you soon!

O=Obviously, You are my friend...

So, HELLO!

It has made me smile every time I say hello since then

so sendthis messageto the people you care about.

Just thinking of you!

I only sent this to people that I knew would NOT break

the chainor that believe in the power of prayer.

May today there be peace within you.May you trust your

Godthatyou are exactly where you are meant to be.

"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet

whenour wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

Joke time is here- - - -

Paddy and Mick are walking home after a night on the grog. They’ve got no money to get a taxi and are staggering all over the place when they find themselves outside a bus depot.

Paddy has a brainwave and says to Mick : “Get in there and steala bus so we can drive home and I’ll stay out here and look out for the police.”

Mick duly breaks into the depot and is gone for 20 minutes while Paddy is wondering what the hell he is doing.

Eventually, Paddy sticks his head around the door and sees Mick running from bus to bus, looking very worried.

“What in the world are you doing Mick? Get a move on.”To which Mick replied, “ I can’t find a Number 7 anywhere Paddy.”

Where- upon Paddy, holding his hand to is head in disbelief, shouts “You idiot, Mick, steal a No. 9 and we’ll get off at the roundabout and walk the rest of the way.”

Teddy came thundering down the stairs, much to his father’s annoyance.

“Teddy,” he called, “how many times have I got to tell you to come down the stairs quietly ? Now, go back up and come down like a civilised human being.”

There was a silence and Teddy reappeared n the front room.

“That’s better,” said his father. “Now will you always come down stairs like that ?”

“Suits me,” says Teddy. “I slid down the bannister.”

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, “ Why are some of your hairs white, Mom ?”

Her mother replied, “ Well, every time you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turn white.”

The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, “Momma, how come ALL of grandma’s hairs are white?”

One day Joe’s mother turned to Joe’s father and said, “It’s such a nice day, I think I’ll take Joe to the Zoo.”

“I wouldn’t bother,” said father, “If they want him, let them come and get him.”

A six year old boy called his mother from his friend Charlie’s house and confessed he had broken a lamp when he threw a football in their living room.

“But, Mom,” he said, brightening, “you don’t have to worry about buying another one.Charlie’s mother said it was

irreplaceable.”

George knocked on the door of his friend’s house. When his friend’s mother answered he asked, “Can Albert come out to play?”

“No,” said the mother, “it’s too cold.”

“Well, then, said George, “can his football come out to play ?”

Little Johnny’s new baby brother was screaming up a storm. He asked his mom, “Where’d we get him ?”

His mother replied, “He came from heaven, Johnny.”

Johnny says, “ WOW !!I can see why they threw him out !!”

An irate woman burst in to the baker’s shop and said, “ I sent my son in for two pounds of cookies this morning, but when I weighed them there was only one pound.I suggest you check your scales.”

The baker looked at her calmly for a moment or two and thenreplied. “Ma’am, I suggest you weigh your son.”
